dMZX Forums: New IPB auth plugin does not support automatic login -> MZXWiki -> Tracker

The most recent MediaWiki update installed to MZXWiki is not compatible with MZXGiant's IPB authentication plugin and I've replaced it with IPBAuthLogin. Logins and automatic account creation have been tested and work with this but there isn't a setting or hook for automatic logins.

I don't think this really matters because I don't know how much longer we'll be using IPB.

Update: this extension's age seems to be catching up to it, as of updating to MediaWiki 1.39.

PHP Deprecated:  IPBLoginAuth's extension.json or skin.json does not have manifest_version, this is deprecated since MediaWiki 1.29 in /dmzx/wiki/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 381

edit: login failure was patched in a completely different repository from the one DMZX was tracking. Very cool...
